Divorce Mediation Attorney in Mesa, Arizona

We are divorce mediation attorneys in Mesa, Arizona. To begin, what is a divorce mediator? A mediator for a divorcing couple acts as a facilitator to help you both decide what is best for you, and your children.

An experienced mediation attorney will help you work through all the issues associated with ending your marriage.

The types of issues that can be negotiated through mediation allowing you to maintain control include:

Child Custody and Parenting Time

Legal Decision-Making for your children

Child Support

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

How property and debts should be divided

A divorce mediator is neutral and doesn’t “work” for either party. That means the mediator can not give advice to either party. They must remain impartial no matter what the situation.

How long does divorce mediation take and what are the costs?

If both parties are able to work together well the process could be concluded in as little as ninety (90) days. Whereas a typical divorce can take as long as eighteen (18) months or more. Costs vary depending on the number of sessions required, but you could expect to pay 1/3 the cost of an average court mandated divorce proceeding which would continue to grow to over the course of all the courts dates required to obtain a final decree.

Is divorce mediation confidential?

Yes. A traditional divorce is public domain. Divorce mediation is confidential, private and conducted behind closed doors. Mediation is about working jointly without contention, and making decisions together to keep the focus on the best interests of you and your children. There aren’t attorneys battling with each other, pointing fingers and trying to make the other spouse look bad in front of the judge to gain an advantage.

The judge doesn’t get to decide what is right for your family, you do, but once decided and agreed upon the mutual agreement is enforceable in a court of law!
